Might adopt that as my tagline within my company :P

Two words. Good luck. Our society is not based upon a mindset of going backwards in terms of advancement and technology. The whole idea of society is to advance in thought, process, mechanics and the like. We advance these ideas so our society might become a better place. Classic example...

more efficient cows? THATS AWESOME!

Gordo, good explanation on how this all plays out. And yeah guru, you might not see it but does that mean its not there? Of course it is, look at Carbon Monoxide, you don't see it creeping on you until your falling asleep and a loud noise fills the house. Now think of this and lets put in...

I agree, at this point in time fossil fuels are ingrained into our society because of its relative cheapness. We are use to the technology and the ease of use and thats why we keep using it. There are probably other "political" reasons, but those get way to overblown at times. I also agree...

You can be, here is how: 1) As a printer buy wind, solar or geothermal power. 2) Buy all your equipment from sustainable initiatives and insure that there is no piece of equipment that has a single ounce of fossil fuel influence. 3) Insure that all your suppliers are using renewable everything...

Passed! Passed! Yay, my company passed certification. He distinguished us as a "notable" site and recommended immediate certification for all 3 major agencies. Was a stressful day, but at least its all over now. Some quick tips for companies that might be doing this still: 1) Have all your...

The Tri-Certification audit is today for my company. I've worked about 5 months on this without a consultant, so I'll hoping I've done enough. Wish me luck, I'll try and post something tonight to tell people on the forums how it went and maybe make some pointers for those who are not certified...

To improve on a system there will always be a need to spend resources. Whether it is materials, time, money or thinking there will always be something spent on stuff like this. If you are spending 3,000 dollars on an audit or taking time to do a 5S self-audit there will always be a cost to any...

Its why i'm here, to help and learn. And when did I become a senior member?!?! I'm not that old!

I'll explain further: We had a saddle stitch book we did for a client, 48 pages. There was a consistent designed background, main color was black. There were designs and such within it as well. On press there were, of course, crossovers that were in place, 3 forms total. In the booklet...

Not a problem, put an update about what happened after you have solved it. I think this issue is a lot more common nowadays with the ever changing photoshop/Indesign integration that is occuring these days.

We just had something like this. A black textured background was different hue's of black on two seperate signatures. Were these files built in Adobe InDesign? If so, there might be an issue with the files unrelated to the girl in question. We've had issues in the past where we would slap a...

He is one of the weak links. Even though I am within management I can't get rid of him because he is one of the three individuals within the company with his name is on the building.... Jesper, I like your idea of Kanban cards. I've seen it done within inventory systems. I love the concept...

Your comment on the lean guys that tossed paper is a double edged sword. Saving paper is at times good but that isn't the core practicality of the situation. Lean dictates what is waste shouldn't be there and should be either discarded or be used someplace with potential value. You shouldn't...

You hit it right on the nail. It is only a portion of the process, the paper itself. Some organizations do look at a more broad set of standards. An example: EU Flower - Eco-Label They are not only within printed resources, but also textile products, soaps and shampoos, lubricants and...

Tree Hugger? If only I was, then I'd be able to justify what I'm doing was actually going to save the planet! My rant wasn't meant to be a defense against some attack or a ignorant denial of other peoples point of view on the subject. It was meant to be a sarcastic point on the whole...

Or better yet, lets go after all 3 of the most popular certifications. FSC, SFI and PEFC. Or better yet, go after anyone. Lets go after Green-e. They must not know what they are doing. Or maybe go after ISO, or TCF, or ECF, or maybe CN, or how about Green Seal. Even better, Go after Tree...

Not making us "feel good", but making our customers feel good. Customers drive this concept and if they want the product they will buy it.

As I had originally said, if Gregg sees no difference with the process within his printed work what is the point in trying to find drawbacks? If he is happy with it then there shouldn't be any issue. The only assumption I made was that this system was created by a book publisher. With that...
